Maybe I find it distracting... I guess I don't do any REAL work :-).  I
find one big CRT to be enough.  When CRT's get smaller I do things Windows
style... maximize and flip around via the taskbar/dock.  When screens are
large I just arrange and resize my windows to taste.  I don't mind
overlapping Windows.  I'm also quite a mouser, so it doesn't bother me.
I always have one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard, unless I need
to do a lot of typing.  I'd rather have 3 21" connected to 3 wonderful
machines.  I still don't like LCD's... they look flimsy and cost way too
much for the acceptable ones (22" Cinema).  I fell in love with big CRT's
while playing on the Indigo 2's in college (r10K upgrades).
